SIRODA PLATES OF DEVARAJA.
The localities mentioned in the inscription are Chandrapura, the town from which the charter was issued, the territorial division Jiyaya and (the village granted) Thänniyarka-Kōṭṭihkayya. It is not possible to identify any of them definitely. Regarding these Mr. Pissurlencar informs me that the places are in Goa, chiefly in Salsette. He is not able to identify or explain Jiyayasu which evidently indicates some local territorial division but thinks that Salsette may represent it. He thinks that Chandrapura is Chandor of Goa and identifies Thanniyarka. Kōṭṭibkayya with Tanem-Kuttal in Salsette.
